Thanks to the Kid Lit Exchange for the review copy of this book. As always, all opinions are my own.
This is a fascinating read! Explore the animal world like you never have before–by studying their skeletons. You’ll learn which animals have the smallest, largest, lightest, and heaviest bones. Each section starts with a description of an animal skeleton and gives you several clues about what animal is pictured. Flip the page to see an illustration of the animal and learn a few more facts. The raised illustrations bring a tactile element to the learning, too!

Loved that this book is somewhat unique, with the embossed skeletons so well done! My main quibble with this: don't tell us that these are record-breaking in the title, only to explain in the copy that these were NOT always the biggest, lightest, etc., but were chosen for editorial purposes.
It was a fun way to learn, but, as a former science teacher, a let down at the end.

The illustrations were lovely and incorporated a tactile element, included an informative author's note & glossary.

This is one of the coolest science picture books I have ever seen! It shows the animal’s skeleton with clues so that the reader can guess what it is. When you turn the page you not only get to see what it is, but feel how the skeleton would be inside it as it has texture to represent the bones under the skin.

I loved the guessing game format and the tactility to show how the bones fit beneath the animals' form was genius. Very fun.
